Attorney Foley in Belfast with Lord Mayor

In Ireland last week, I traveled north to Belfast to visit old friend Mairtin O Muilleoir. In addition to being the publisher of the Irish Echo newspaper in New York, Mairtin is a member of the Belfast City Council and he is currently the Lord Mayor of Belfast. This photo was taken as Mairtin showed me the Belfast City Council chambers.

While Belfast continues to make steady progress towards a lasting peace, it is a work in progress. Mairtin and I talked about his recent assault by an aggressive mob of Loyalists as he was opening a children’s park in the Woodvale area of North Belfast.

As this Youtube video shows (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-4gdpne0yY), the strong police presence did not prevent Mairtin from the kicks and punches of this bigoted minority. The police are now reviewing the video and charges for assault and battery are expected.

I suggest the Police Service of Northern Ireland charge these bigots, and those that prepared them for this violent confrontation with a hate crime to insure significant penalties and deter this type of behavior towards elected officials.

As for Mairtin, he literally turned the other cheek, said he would continue to be the Lord Mayor for ALL of Belfast and rambled on about the beauty of Belfast and its people. With Mairtin leading the way, I have no doubt Belfast will continue its steady progress towards peace and reconciliation.

I recommend you to call Attorney John Foley.

We tried to do our adjustment of status on our own but it didn’t go well. We called Attorney Foley after we received a denial notice from USCIS. Attorney Foley called the USCIS Supervisor who signed our denial notice and not only did she agree to review our case but she agreed to reschedule our…

He cares about his clients;

As international entertainers, we travel in and out of the U.S. a great deal. Our foreign travel complicated our immigration case. But John was there to smooth over every step and to answer all of our many questions. John went to the interview with us and we could tell by the way he was treated…

Thanks to him, I am proud to say I am now a U.S. Citizen!

My husband and I had hired another immigration lawyer before we met Attorney Foley but that lawyer charged us $50 every time we called him. And we almost always spoke with a secretary and not the lawyer. After too much frustration, we fired that lawyer and hired Attorney Foley immediately after we met with him….

We strongly recommend Attorney John Foley.

Attorney Foley handled our adjustment of status case. He took care of all the forms, all supporting documentation and prepared us for our interview with U.S. Immigration.

Words can’t describe our appreciation for all the help Attorney Foley gave us.

Our experience with Attorney John Foley has not only been helpful but wonderful. He is much more than just a lawyer, but also a friend. When the both of us started searching for the right lawyer, it can be of course a stressful process, but we got very lucky. We found Attorney John Foley on…

Attorney John Foley helped me get my U.S. citizenship.

Attorney John Foley helped me get my U.S. citizenship. His help through the whole process was more helpful than at the interview itself. He was always available no matter what question I had. Even if the question (now in retrospect) sounded silly, he was patient answering every concern I had. He made jokes and made…

Dealing with US immigration was one of the scariest things I have ever done.

Dealing with US immigration was one of the scariest things I have ever done. I had been illegal for years. Attorney Foley explained to me what he was going to do before he did it. He told me what to expect and it was like he had a crystal ball. After a very anxious interview…

Attorney Foley helped make our dream of being together a reality. My husband and I are from different corners of the world. We met, fell in love and wanted to live together in the United States. Dealing with the U.S. Immigration service was difficult. There were forms and attachments and requests for all types of…
